Re: Front fenders
Yes, for fit, but there is a design change near the splash apron.
Good pictures in the Restoration Guidelines. |

Re: Front fenders
Early 28 fenders (AR) are slightly different. They will fit, just putting it out there. Jeff

Re: Front fenders
There have been reports of original cars with mis-matched fenders.
Leave it to frugal Henry. Joe K

Re: Front fenders
My 1928 Roadster Pickup has the Early Fender on the drivers side and the later style on the right.
Since its a commercial vehicle they may have used up the early inventory on them.

Re: Front fenders
My Sports coupe has early on left hand side and late on the right but may not have been from the factory though common thought is there were a few cars came like that. There was a thread about it a year or so ago.

Re: Front fenders
Yes, all 103.5" wheelbase vehicles are on the same chassis for the same that same year.

Re: Front fenders
Mike,
I think he was asking If the January through June 1930 pickups also had the 28/29 cabs, like the AA' s. I think the 28/29 cabs were only used on the AA, not the Jan-Jun30 pickups. |

All 103 inch wb vehicles came from the same assembly line(s) All were provided with the basic "black" components. Only once a completed chassis/black components were assembled would the body (random on this?) be fitted. The truck line was similar EXCEPT for those fenders and body - and earlier truck adaptable body parts shifted over from cars to the truck line. Use it up make it do personal values. Joe K

Re: Front fenders
NO TELLIN' what's been changed on out cars????
Chief said WRECKING YARDS were a BIG business, in the "old days". AND, folks saved their DEFUNCT cars, for spare parts. Chief would buy some of them to fix up & re-sell, for grocery money! Bill W.

Yes, that was my question - whether the 28-29 style cab/fenders were used on early-30 A pickups as well as AA trucks. I know pickups are on the same chassis as passenger cars. It's been posited the cab/fenders were carried over to use up parts. Undoubtedly Ford did some of that and I know commercial vehicles sometimes lagged behind passenger cars in getting upgrades. But if Henry was the penny-pincher he's reputed to be, I don't think he'd tie up funds by squirreling away six months' worth of truck cabs. I wonder if there was some other reason for the mid-year changeover. But if that's the case, why not change AAs at the same time as pickups? I do know the early-30 "square cab" trucks had some 30 features - e.g., the "flat" steering wheel. But I don't know if any of those affected the cab per se. |
